One Sunny Day

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing! Read about the new sunglasses that can charge your mp3 player using solar power!

In the tech world we’re not always that fashion savvy, but we may end up saving the world.

Our newest fashion misstep seems to be solar powered shades or “Self Energy Converting Sunglasses” . Pack an ipod and then charge on the go while protecting ever precious eyes. Just plug the cord into whatever small electronic device and, with the look of a headphone cord, you’ve got power on the go. It’s a nice concept, but with only one style it’s hard to appeal to everyone. But hey, Myvu glasses have taken off, why not these? As soon as (or if) they go into production there’s always a chance for them as well.

A Secret Diary

Chris McGinn posted a blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the all new diary for girls, in the form of a USB.

When I was a little girl I had the diary with the lock that was supposed to keep my secret hopes and dreams safe. Meet the new, teched-out version– Take’s Secret Diary USB flash drive designed for teens.

The small drive has a key-pad for entering your personalized 3 to 10 digit PIN-number. Encrypted with hack-proof software, what you write is for your eyes only. If you worry about forgetting your PIN, they have PIN replacement assistance and a Never-Lost backup subscription that retains your diary entries in case of loss or theft.

This drive is geared toward girls with fun games and widgets such as a Fortune Cookie feature, rate everything from boys to movies to restaurants with My Stars, and analyze your dreams with Dream Catcher. Not sure what to write, try Thinking Deep to point you in the write direction. There’s even a Mood Art feature that analyzes your words and adds appropriate “mood” colors to your page.

You can personalize entries with a variety of backgrounds, colors and text styles. You can also include your own photos and add drawings (ala Perez Hilton)

It sells for $59.95 via Amazon.

Beyond Scissors

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog up on Digital Landing about a new product designed to open the plastic packaging we all fight with, without the fight.

We, the gadget obsessed, are no strangers to the hassle that is package opening. I’m not talking about wrapping paper and cardboard boxes, I’m speaking of the evil that is air tight plastic packaging with razor sharp edges and the reputation for back breaking hassle.

Supposedly we now have a solution. Open It (conveniently named) is a new product by Zibra, that claims to easily open all packaging from toys to battery compartments. It looks like a cross between garden clippers and a can opener.

The “Open It” boasts clippers, an exacto knife, and a screw driver. What else could you possibly need when opening a package? Other than Band-Aids? The Open It claims to remove the need for first aid anyway. For $10 I for one am willing to give it a try.

If you’re like me, or at least own a computer, odds are that the wiring clutter on your desk can get a little hard to handle (especially when moving, like in and out of a dorm room). Well, here’s a chance to simplify the mess...
